SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? It removes the manual effort of digging through official documentation, source code, and specs to answer technical questions, delegating the reading work to a background agent while you keep working. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Primary-source investigation: Traces every claim back to official docs, source code, specs, or first-party APIs rather than secondary write-ups. - Cited Markdown reports: Writes findings to a single Markdown file with a source citation for each claim. - Convention-aware storage: Saves the report where the repo already keeps such notes, matching existing conventions. - Use Case: Ask how a specific API endpoint behaves; the background agent reads the official docs and source, then delivers a cited Markdown summary saved in your repo. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to research how a specific library or API feature works and save the cited findings as a Markdown note in the repo.

FAQPage Schema
How do I research a technical question using primary sources?▼

Delegate the question to a background agent that reads official docs, source code, and specs directly. It follows each claim back to the source that owns it and writes a cited Markdown report to your repo.

What counts as a primary source for technical research?▼

Primary sources are official documentation, source code, specifications, and first-party APIs. Secondary write-ups like blog posts or tutorials are avoided because claims must trace back to the source that owns them.

Where does the research report get saved?▼

The report is saved as a single Markdown file where the repo already keeps such notes, matching existing conventions. If no convention exists, it is placed somewhere sensible and the location is reported.

Can I keep working while the research runs?▼

Yes, the investigation runs as a background agent, so you can continue other work while it reads sources and compiles the findings into the Markdown file.

What are the limitations of agent-based research?▼

The agent only reports what primary sources state, so undocumented behavior or questions requiring live experimentation may not be fully answered. Findings quality depends on the availability and clarity of official sources.
